The Holy Bible - Geneva Edition 
1 st Printing, 1 st Edition in 1560 

Given back to the people so all may understand 



The Geneva Bible was first printed in Geneva, Switzerland, by refugees from England, 
fleeing the persecution of Protestants by Roman Catholic Queen "Bloody" Mary. Many 
copies were smuggled back into England at great personal risk. In later years, when 
Protestant-friendly Queen Elizabeth took the throne, printing of the Geneva Bible moved 
back to England. The Geneva Bible was produced by John Calvin, John Knox, Myles 
Coverdale, John Foxe, and other Reformers. It is the version that William Shakespeare 
quotes from hundreds of times in his plays, and the first English Bible to offer plain 
roman-style type in some of its early printings. 

The Geneva Bible was the first Bible taken to America, brought over on the 
Mayflower. . . it is the Bible upon which early America and its government was founded 
(certainly not the King's of England's Bible!) The Geneva Bible was also the first 
English Bible to break the chapters of scripture into numbered verses, and it was the first 
true "Study Bible" offering extensive commentary notes in the margins. It was so 
accurate and popular, that a half-century later, when the King James Bible came out. . . it 
retained more than 90% of the exact wording of the Geneva Bible.

14 For I wil ac this time fend all my pla-

was not in Egypt fince the fundatio the-

19 Send therefore now, and « gather thy

for vpon ail the men , & the beaftes,which 
aie foundem thefield,andnot broght

2j f And che fist day they gathered k twife 
fo muche bread,two Omers foi one man:

lay it vp to be kept til y mormg for you. 

24 And they laied it vp til the morning,as 
Mofes bade,and it ftankc not, nether was 
there any worme therein. 

S5 Then Mofes faid,Eat that to day :for to 
day is the Sabbath vnto the Lord ; to day 
ye fhal not ' finde it in the field. 

26 Six dayes fhal ye gathet it, but in y fe-

27 f Notwithftanding , there m went out

throughout their families, euerie manin

Lord was grieuoufly kindled : alfo Moles 
was grieued. 

n And Mofes faid vnto y Lord, Wherefo- 



re haft thou 'vexed thy feruant? and why 
haue I not founde l fauour in thy fight, 
feing thou haft put the charge of all this

15 Therefore if thou deale thus with me, I 
pray thee,if I haue founde fauourin thy

16 ^Then^y" Lord faid vnto Mofes,Gather

the Eldets of the people,&: gouerners ouer

Hand there with thee, 

17 And I wil come downe, & talke with thee 
there , * and take of the Spirit, which is

ihal beare the burthe of the people with 
thee: fo thou fhalt not beare it alone. 

18 Furthermore thou fhalt fay vnto the

flefh,andye fhal eat. 

19 Ye fhal not eat one day nor two daies, 
nor fiue daies,nether ten daies, nor twen- 
ty daies, 

20 But a whole monethjvntii it come out 
at.your noftrels , and be lotheibme vnto

j He that kepeth the commandement, fhal

6 For to euerie purpofe there is a time and 
iudgcment bccaufi the f mifene of man 
is great, vpon him. 

7 For he knoweth not that which fhalbe:for 
who can tel him when it fhalbe* 

5 "Man is not lord s ouerthefpirit tore- 
teine the lpirit: nether hathe he power in 
the day of death , nor dchuerance in the

9 All thishauel fene,and hauegiuenmine 
heart to euerie worke,which is wroght vn- 
der the funne, and I fatve a time that man 
ruleth ouer manto his owne h hurt. » 

io And likewife I (awe the wicked buryed, 
and ' they returned, and they that came 
from the hohe k place,were yet forgotten 
in the cit ie where they had done nght:this 
alfo is vanitie. 

n Becaufe fenccnce againftan euil worke 
is not l executed fpedely,thcrefore the he- 
art of the children of men is fully fet in the 
to do euil. 

n Thogh a /inner do euil an hudreth times, 
and God prolongeth hu days,yet I knowe 
that u fhalbe wel with them that feare the 
Lord, and do reuerence before him. 

rj But it fhal not be wel to the wicked, 
nether fhal he prolong hit daycsilx Jkalbe 
like a fbadowe, becaufe he feareth not be- 
fore God. 

14 There is a vanitie, which is done vpo the 
earth,that there be righteous men to who- 
me it cometh according to the m worke 
of the wicked.ano there be wicked mtn to 
whome it cometh according to the woike 
of the xufte : I thoght alfo that this is 
vanitie. 

15 And I praifed ioyeifor there is no good- 
nes to man vnder the funne, faue n to eat 
and to" drmke and toreioyce:forthisis 
adioyned to his labour,thedaye« ofhis li-

funne. 

t6 When I applied mine heart to knowe 
wifdome, and to beholde the bufines that 
is done on earth,that nether day nor-mght 
the eyes of man take flepe, 



if Then I bclelc'e y wholeworke of God, 
that ma can not hndeoutthe workethat 
is wroght vnderthe funne. for the which 
man laboreth to feke it , and can not fin-

baie vnto me,to paflc by the fore to be their

$8 Moreouer thus haue they done vnto me: 
they haue defiled my fanSuane in rhe fa-

5? Forwhen they had flame their children

14 In it fhal twelue Kings reigne one after 
another, 

15 Whereof the feconde fhal beginne to 
reigne and fhal haue more time then the 
twelue. 

*6 And this do the twelue wings fignifie, 
which thou faweft. 

17 As for the voice that thou heardeft fpea- 
fce, and that thou faweft not go out from 
the heads, but from the middesof the bo- 
die thereof*,this is the interpretacion, 

»8 That after the time of that kingdome 
there fhal arife great ftrife , & it ftialbe in

fbalbeieftored againe to his beginning.

the dominion of the earth,, 

34 And of thofe that dwell therein, with

fore them : therefor* are they called the 
heads of the egle., 

sj For they fhal accompiifh his wickedness 
and fhal finifh his laft end,. 

26 And where as thou faweft that the great 
head appeared no more, it fignifieth that 
one of them fhal dye vponhis bed,and yet 
with peine. 

*7 For the two that remaine,the fworde fhal 
deuoure them.

30 Theft are thei whome f mofte High hathe

is lit!e,and ful of trouble as thou faweft. 

ji And the lyon whome thou faweft rifing

k.ng vnto the egle, and rebuking hei for 
her vnrighteoufnes with all the woisdes 
that thou haft heard, 

p, This is the winde which the mofte High

thou haft fene, in a boke and hide them, 

38 And teache them the wife of the people, 
whofe hearts thou knoweft may compre- 
hende and kepe thefe fecrets. 

39 But waite thou here yet feuen daies mo, 
thatitmay befbewed theewhatfoeuer it 
pleafeth the mofteHigh to declare vnto 
thee:andwith that he went his way. 

40 And when all the people perceiued, that 
the feuen daies were paft,and I not come 
againe into the citie , they gathered them 
all together , from the leaft vnto the mo- 
fte*and came vnto me,and fpake vnto me, 
faying, 

41 What haue we offended thee » or what 
euil haue we done agamft thee , that thou 
forfakeft vs,and fitteft in this place? 

41 For of all the people thou onely art left 
vs as a grape of the vine,and as a candle m 
a. darke place,8c as an hau. n or fhippe pre- 
ferued from the tempt ft. 

43 Are not the euiis which are come vnto 
vsjfufftcient? 

44 If thou then forfake vs,how muche bet- 
ter had itbenefor vs,that'wehad bene 
burnt alfo as Sion was burnt? 

45 For we areno better then they that dyed 
there : and they wept with a loude voyce, 
Thenanfwered I them,and faid, 

46 Beofgoodcomfort,dlfiael,andbenot 
heauie,thou houfe of lacob^ 

47 For the mofte High hathe you in rem el-

48 As for me I haue not forfake you^iether

49 And now go your way homeeuerie ma, 
and after thefe daies wil I come vnto you. 

50 So the people went their way into the 
citie,as I commanded themi 

j? But I remained ftil in the field feuen 
daies , as he had commanded me,and did 
eat onely of the floures of the field,& had 
my meat of the herbes in thofe daies.

The prologue of the Wifdome of lefus the fonne of Siraeh. 



WHere as mame* and great things 
haue benegmen vsby the Law,and 
■the Prophetes , and by others thathaue fol- 
lowed them , (for the which things Ifrael 
oght to be coraended by the reafon of doclri 
ae and wifdome, whereby the readers oght 
«ot oaely to become learned them femes, 
but alfo may be able by the diligent ftudie 
thereof to be profitable vnto ftrigers bothe 
by fpeahng & writing) after that my grand 
father lefus hadgiucn him felf to the rea- 
ding of the Law,and theProphetes,& other 
bokes of our fathers , and had gotten the- 
rein fufficicntiudgement, hepurpofed alfo 
to wricefome thing perteiningto learning 
and wifdome , to the intent that they which 
were defirous Co learne, & wolde giue them 
felues to thefe things , might,ptofite mu- 
cbe more in liuing according to the Law. 
Wherefore,! exhoree you to reeeiue it io- 
uingly 1 and to read it with diligence, and 
rotate it in good worthe,thoghwe feme 
to foirie in fome things not able to atteine 
to the interpretation of fuche wordes as are 
hard to be expreffe.d:for the things that are 
fpoken m the Hebrewe tongue, haue ano- 
ther forctin them felues then whe rhey.are 
iranflatediato another t6gue s and not one* 



ly thefe things , but other things alfo,as the 
Law it felf,8c the Prophctes, 8c other bokes 
haue no fmale difference when they are fpo- 
ken in their owne liguage. Thei cfore in the 
eight and thirtieth yeie,when I came into 
Egypt vnder King Euergetes , and con- 
tinued there , 1 founde a copie ful of great 
learning , and I thoght it neceffarie , to be- 
ftowemy diligence, and trauaile to inter- 
pret this bake . So for a certeine time with 
great watching and ftudie I gaue my felf 
to thefiniftiing of this boke,that it might be 
pub!ifhed,that they which remaine in bam- 
fhement, and are defirous to leame , might 
appliethemlelues vnto goodmaners, and 
iiuc according to the Law.
